a road song

we're still in wisconsin

as far as i know

today was green bay and

tomorrow chicago

wish i was lying

but there isn't much to report

my phone is dying

so i got to keep it short

i just wanted to say

hey

i've been writing you a road song

it's a cliche but hey

that doesn't make it so wrong

and in between the stops at the cracker barrel

and funny movies with will farrell

i need someway to occupy my time

so i'm writing you a road song

i sure hope you don't mind

i bought you a light blue

t-shirt last night

from some band i couldn't stand but

there logo was all right

some kid threw a bottle on stage

he had an arm like a pro

i know it's getting late

i guess i should let you go

but did i happen to say hey

i've been writing you a road song

don't run away cause hey

i promise it won't be too long

and i know it's not what you'd call necessary

and i know that i'm no steve perry

even if you roll your eyes and groan

i'm still writing you a road song

that you can call your own
